Robin Carnahan Statement on SCOTUS Ruling Regarding Campaign Finance Limits
Saint Louis, MO — Today Robin Carnahan released the following statement regarding the U.S. Supreme Court’s ruling on campaign finance limits:
The last thing we need in politics is more money and more attacks from corporate special interests and this ruling will allow that. I’m frankly disgusted that, at a time when more and more working families just want their voices heard, the Supreme Court in Washington, DC basically just put them on mute and gave big corporations and power brokers a megaphone. Washington corporate special interests and lobbyists will get to continue to game the system, buy off members of both parties and amass more power at the expense of everyone else and that’s just plain wrong.

1. I just sent her a contribution with the following note:
Carnahan Campaign:

Please accept 16$ for a contribution to Robin’s campaign and apply the remaining 4$ to send me a navy blue Carnahan bumper sticker. And, for the love of all that is holy - as a long time constituent of Roy Blunt - please do everything you can to prevent him from becoming our next Senator.

Sincerely,

2. And added the following political advise:
PS election strategy:
Roy Blunt = Washington. Robin Carnahan = Not Washington. It’s that simple.

5. I'm convinced
that there are decent candidates in both Parties. I am also convinced that there are corrupt candidates in both Parties. You've done a good thing by supporting the non-incumbent that may make a difference. Obviously Roy Blunt is a bought and paid for hack.
